Acts of Liberation - Love for Free

Acts of Liberation - Love for Free is an artistic action, a sociological experiment, searching for new forms of relationship in the face of a narcissistic, individualistic and emotionally disconnected society. Would you kiss a stranger on the street? What about a hug? A real look?

Love for Free is about social distance, individualism, loneliness and the inability to relate to others. We are social beings who need contact with other people, we need to look at each other, touch each other, get closer, feel each other, hug and kiss each other more. In a narcissistic and individualistic society with high emotional disconnection, it is essential to look for new ways of relating that bring us closer, connect us and allow us to question what the new paradigm is in terms of how to relate to acquaintances and strangers. 

This project is a paean to love as a possible solution for healing and transforming our fears and seeking new ways of relating to ourselves and others. Love is defended as a revolutionary artistic act and brought to the stage as an art capable of bringing us closer to ourselves and others.

Love for Free is a multicultural piece of social cohesion, diversity and inclusion, where the participants in the same action will be different people (people of different ages, cultures and social classes, invisible groups or people at social risk), all will be part of this community action.
